Pop’Africana - ‘Nigerian sounds in Country & western music’ Mix

Trans-disciplinary cultural platform and lifestyle brand, Pop’Africana has released a compilation song that showcases the influence of original Nigerian sounds in Country and Western Music.

Pop’Africana‘s ‘Nigerian Sounds in Country & Western Music’ melds genres to a thrilling effect.

This new mix by Uchenna Ikonne features Nigerian artists like musician/actress Christy Essien-Igbokwe and singer Henry Pedro playing in the folk, country, and rock genres that are typically associated with America and the U.K.

Featuring tracks that recall Western classics like Simon & Garfunkel‘s ‘The Boxer’ or Elvin Bishop‘s ‘Fooled Around and Fell in Love,’ the compilation is at times melancholic, at others hopeful, but always engaging.
